Everlast Gym Leigh Fitness Centre  Reviews

The staff at Everlast in Leigh seem to think they have a God-given right to control what members do simply because we pay a membership.
For example, some of us like to meet up early for conversation before our class, some of us get each other’s mats out so that we can train together, some of us wait for other members so we can all leave together and have a chat. Some of us socialise at each other’s homes outside of the gym.
But for some illogical reason, some staff members think they have a right to interfere with this, by putting a stop to it as if it’s a problem when there is no problem until the staff intervene.
This consists of dirty looks from staff, making us feel uncomfortable, spreading lies about members, threatening abusive behaviour etc They go out of their way to disrupt the pleasure that members get from each other’s company. Very strange behaviour.

Having been a member for sometime, and so I can honestly say I have never had the staff at a company make me feel so uncomfortable on an extreme level. I will never go back to Everlast gym in Leigh. They know what they have done is wrong, as such myself and multiple others have withdrew our membership.

I’ve been a member for almost eight years, and in the last eighteen months I’ve seen a real decline in all aspects of this Gym. They have halved the cleaning staff, and it clearly shows, because the place is filthy, and the pool.
The equipment is old, dirty and a larger number doesn’t function. Plus we went days without water back in June, so no working facilities that require water, but yet they remained open. Money seems to be the priority and not the members.
I have NOT renewed my membership.

The app keeps putting me on a class waiting list. It’s faulty. Sort it out Everlast and whist you are at it, sort out all the faulty equipment and get new mats that actually are padded and not like thin paper on the gym floor. Useless.

Everlast Leigh covered up their hot tub whirlpools with decking due to them being too expensive to run and maintain.
Everlast excuse for this is, and I quote -
“As for the ‘decking’ that was part of the refurb idea not a ‘cover up’….” End quote.
There has not been a refurb, all the machines and equipment are still old and knackard, and how is the covering up of the pools with decking not a cover up?
Covering up whirlpools is not a refurb idea because a refurb should be an improvement to facilities, not removing covering up pools.
As members, there is no longer any point in continuing a membership.
The deterioration of this gym is obvious for everyone to see. I’ve cancelled my membership with immediate effect, and I will not be paying for the remaining 12 months.

The worst gym I have ever had the nightmare to deal with for many reasons. First it is impossible to cancel membership without them insisting I pay the remaining full 12 months money, even though I don’t want to be a member. Very rude aggressive intimidation from staff.
Why pay when they do not deliver on the full
membership fee because there are so many faulty machines.
Machines out of order signs everywhere.
The staff are rude.
Place is filthy.
Pools hot tubs boarded up out of use.
Air-conditioning not working.
Music in studio faulty.
I could go on and on.....

It’s deeply disturbing when the staff at Leigh gym are stalking gym members online. They did it to me and my friends/family.
Staff members talk about what is allegedly written on gym members personal FB profile pages, and they take screenshots to show others. Then they edited the screenshots to suit Everlast narrative.
Myself and other members have received unwanted online friends request from staff. It later emerged that FB had a software glitch were people looking at your FB page automatically, unknowingly to them, sent you a friends request. FB later apologised, and deleted the request. However it proved that gym staff are stalking gym members. Very intimidating and concerning. This is fact and an extremely unnerving breach of personal privacy.
It has nothing at all to do with Everlast what gym members do in their private life.
Disagreeing with what members post online, taking out of context, not understanding private humour, taking screenshots of fabricated post etc from possible clone accounts, and making false allegations.
Misunderstanding, misinterpretation, and spreading rumours, lies about members. Wrong on every level.
Scandalous! This is inexcusable behaviour.
Refusing to apologise when confronted when proven wrong, instead they escalated matters which caused me, and others severe distress.
A handful of staff have discredited, blackened Everlast name. Embarrassing for them.
This is one of many reasons why us members have left Everlast.

Everlast are immoral, bad, bad, bad. Their terms and conditions are ridiculous so read the fine print. I did not enjoy my time there at all, and they made it very uncomfortable to cancel my membership.

I was in 2 minds as to post as I don't see the point in this false drama but I cannot sit back and say nothing. With regards to the posts about the gym being a toxic or mean girl gym, this could not be further from the truth, everyone is so friendly and there's a fun atmosphere in all instructor classes and on the gym floor, it doesn't feel intimidating working out alone whereas other clubs I have tried I don't feel comfortable working out on my own.  Yes the gym has faulty equipment but the toxic nonsense is just that...nonsense. I have been at this club 4 years and never had a problem, this person feels that it's OK to lie and create false stories because there were consequences for their actions. A few people have left, this happens at every gym this is not just something that happens just at Everlast.
People who know this person out of the gym have advised people at the club of their behaviour and this is just what they do, so even people who know them know their character and embellishments to fabricated stories.
There will now follow a  barrage of yet more false reviews and lies as this person is very desperate for people to believe them and their stories.

There is a poisonous atmosphere at this Leigh gym due to some of the staff being so narcissistic, rude, and aggressive towards members.
Staff believe their own lies that suit their deluded warped ego fuelled narrative.
And disturbingly a small clique group of indoctrinated gym members can’t distinguish the difference from lies or truth, facts or fiction.
They want to appease the staff by reinforcing the lies to stay in the clique.
Very sad school mentality bullying at this gym.

I say this from a place of love - I hope they get the psychotherapy help they need before everyone cancels their memberships.
This gym had potential, but due to a small few it is self-destructing, and clearly going to business.

Everlast have run out of new lies so they are rehashing the old lies. This is very sad haha
Same old lies -
Having a full refurbishment soon - Same old story they’ve been saying for the past 4 to 5 years.

We are getting all new equipment - Never happens.

Machines are being serviced - Never gets fixed.

The hot tubs have been boarded over as part of our refurbishment - In reality, they can’t afford to run them so they boarded them up.

The gym is always clean and hygienic - Spit, peoples bottles, dirt, dust everywhere is the reality.

Female gym member said with regards to another gym member “She is a fat lazy C**t”. The female member that said it is still a member of the gym.

Different female gym member said in regards to a female trainer “ I bet if you went down on (name), her fan** (privates) would smell of fish”. The female gym member that said that is still a member of the gym.

With regards to an abusive member of staff, another female gym member said “Ki11 her with kindness”.
A male gym member then had a humorous joke about the comment, and he was then banned from the gym.
The gym got the Police involved costing hundreds of thousands of pounds in police and court time and compensation to the male that was falsely accused of crime.

There is clearly male discrimination at this gym, and the environment is extremely toxic.
Not recommended at all.

The consequences of the gyms actions have cost them many ongoing thousands, and they can no longer afford to run the hot tub, so they are boarded up. They cannot afford maintenance on any of the faulty machines, they cannot afford cleaners, and the place is extremely neglected.

Absolute appalling behaviour from some of the abusive staff.
Not recommended at all.

Myself and a large number of others have cancelled membership at Everlast Leigh.
The ill treatment of members is disgraceful. Rude staff, second rate old knackered faulty equipment, filthy pool area, steam room, showers, toilets and general gym area unhygienic.
AVOID this neglected gym.
In their desperation for money they are threatening people that cancel their direct debit, as they are claiming that we are in a contract to pay for a full 12 months, even though we haven’t had 12 months, and don’t want to continue a membership.
AVOID.

Very dissapointed with this Leigh gym, very badly maintained, most of the facilities are Never available for use, very bad steam room, hit and miss, most of all, pathetic management, was told I can't pay cash to continue my monthly payments, so offered to pay for the full year in cash, staff couldn't sort it, so accepted cash for my monthly payment, when expired, was told the same, been a regular here for over 15 years! Will never go back again! Good riddance!

Considering the company name and size this gym is not worth the money. Equipment constantly out of order and for months at a time. Equipment is ok but basic at best. 3 Stair climbers have been out of action for over 6 months and still aren't working. Leg press broken 2/3 months, running machines and exercise bikes out of order. Cable machines out of order.
The gym is usable and pool is ok but if you are looking to train and use equipment instead of free weights I would look elsewhere.
Staff at best are ok but seem unmotivated and uninterested.

Terrible facilities. Showers always on the blink, Jacuzzis and steam room permanently shut, pool often smells awful and is mostly full with lessons. Don't know how this place hasn't gone out of business yet. I emphasise yet!!!

Everlast Leigh are ruthless money grabbers, only interested in desperately making money as the business is in a bad way.
Some staff are decent but others terrible aggressive horrible.
Firstly, the Steam room hardly ever works. Staff always blame the members for messing with thermostats, which is just irresponsible, why not just install tamper proof stats if thats the case?
The two jacuzzis have been turned off blocked up, and not been fixed for over a year now.
It has limited machinery and many of the machines remain broken for months that are not getting fixed.
So basically you have a swimming pool for the premium price, which is negated by the opening hours, which are limiting as they close early on weekends vs many other gyms which are 24 hour gyms.
To add insult to injury they'll ticket you for extremely minor infractions, they've ticketed me 3 times now. One of them was my car being outside the bay by 5cm.
Gym membership has been cancelled. Never again giving these guys a penny.

For the price they charge and for how long they've been saying this place is getting a "refurb" it's a DEAD gym, no sauna or steam room working, no jacuzzis working and many machines out of order.
Some staff are good but you get the odd one that thinks it's their dad's place. Oh and if you don't park in the bay properly expect a parking ticket

As being a previous member of staff I feel like it's only right to let you know that I was told to lie to gym members about a "refurb" that is never coming, so ignore what all the staff tell you. They have been saying the same lie for years. Say anything to get your money.
The staff are treated like slaves and forced to work shifts which are very unsociable. I remember one staff member could barely see her kids because the manager wanted to book off every single holiday of the year.
I feel bad for the amount of members I've had to phone/email/text. We was told we must contact 20 members (6 person team) each during the day to try get them to bring a friend. Managers didn't care if we contacted the member the day before, it was just harassment and keep doing it. There's so many better gyms in this area. The gym is so out dated and everything is done bare minimum, told to lie to members on a daily basis.
£30 for a gym with equipment that doesn't work and outdated that I was told to stick tape over it and hope for the best, there's kit in there that legally is not safe to use but like I said bare minimum, STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS

Don't join! Worst gym ever! Make sure you get a copy emailed to you on the T&Cs! Horrible customer service and horrible experience when you want to cancel rolling membership, plus app never works and they don't assist in cancellation, they will continue to take payments and blame errors on their poor technical systems. Used to be a good gym but has gone down the pan. Facilities are very poor and dirty. No maintenance at all. Faulty equipment, dirty, rude staff, need I go on.
Everlast Leigh gym

Dirty manners and pool
Steam room dirty with emoty bottles, staff walking around the pool and showers in their outside shoes. This is not the place to take kids swimming. Originally I went there to Jacuzzi just to found out it has been removed. Terrible place, only making profit from franchise

With regards to Everlast in Leigh, the staff smear campaign some of their paying members that pay their wages. They lie, bully, they are passive aggressive, they use tactics such as narcissistic projection, narcissistic baiting, gaslighting etc.
The result is that many members have cancelled their memberships, which means the revenue is reduced, and now they cannot afford to maintain any of the faulty equipment. They can’t afford to turn the hot tubs on. They have reduced the temperature of the pool and steam room. They have turned off spotlights around the gym area in a futile attempt to save money, to try, but fail to save the business. The cleanliness has been neglected due to them reducing the cleaning staff to part time only.
They even didn’t pay the freelance gym instructors for weeks. Plus four days without running water, so no toilets, showers or cleaning equipment but yet they remained open. The air conditioning doesn’t work.
Not recommended at all, do not sign a 12 month contract with this company because you will lose your money.
Ex-members are receiving threatening legal letters for the remainder of the 12 month contract money. Very desperate company.
Businesses only succeeded when you look after the paying customer, and Everlast Leigh have failed to do that which has had a huge domino effect for the whole company.

This gym has really gone downhill since Everlast took over!! Its dirty, dingy, old equipment - half of which needs repairs.
TVs have all been switched off
2 Jacuzzis turned off
Steam room on a low setting
Half the showers don't work!!
The older age groups have all left
Full of young lads now! training in groups!
Equipment is old and tired - Everlast??? should be more NEVERLASTS!!!!
Cancelled my membership!!!

This gym Everlast in Leigh is a total let down l've been a member for just over 12 months and all I have seen is a steady decline the changing rooms are filthy the showers are hit and miss the hot tubs don't work the parents stand on the poolside with outdoor shoes on because it's very rare overshoes are provided. The established PT instructors who have worked hard to keep a loyal following have now left therefore the class timetable has declined even the busy classes that brought 15 plus every week have been removed from the timetable to be replaced by classes that have no interest.
The staff do try their best to give but it's clear they have no decision making powers to change things.

I would not recommend this gym to anyone in its sorry state. I will not be renewing my membership and I know of many others that have left and are leaving.

There is a recurring issue with Everlast Leigh where the equipment is not working and never seems to be repaired. Both stairmasters have been out of order for at least six months, leg press out of order for over four months, treadmills out of order and now one of the cable machines. Both jacuzzis were removed earlier in the year, yet members are still being charged monthly payments, the same amount we were before all the equipment broke. You cannot keep fibbing customers off with area manager on holiday or we will get back to you within five days .
